But this is a thread for people with his mindset, not yours.
When did 9/11 start losing its relevancy to you?

It didn’t say “anti 9/11 thread” in the title. And he’s the one that responded to my post.
But one thing I will NOT be doing is wasting more time going back and forth so he and everyone like him can 100% have it.
Never knew people in DC and NYC that lost their lives
I have to say honestly it’s never really lost any relevance to me. My oldest daughter had just turned a year old and she has asked about it throughout the years growing up. I think because I’ve had to explain it to 4 different children it has always stayed in the forefront of my mind. I remember vividly the place I was, what I was wearing, who I was surrounded by. It got me into listening to talk radio because I couldn’t stand the hip-hop DJs talking about it on the radio. I was living in Denver and that morning and that day was so surreal. Everything stopped. People where just different. I eventually left work because we where just sitting around doing nothing. Went to the grocery store to grab stuff for dinner and people or myself where just in a fog. The attacks changed everything for this country. Anyone who says it isn’t relevant is blind or stupid or both.
Also what an asshole question
Pops was a firefighter for 34 years. They raised funds/donations locally and brought them to NY to deliver in person to victims’ families & some of the halls about 6-8 weeks post-9/11. The event shook pops pretty hard. He’s lost a number of friends, fam & coworkers to natural causes over the decades (everyday life non-related). The sheer volume of lives lost then and to illness after the fact stayed with him over time. Condolences to all the families that were impacted. I still
think about them, as well as the courage and bravery from everyone trying to help at all levels, from
civilian to 1st responder, etc. Just damn.

Ok, cool.
^^ This. Two bullshit-ass wars. If Bin Laden would have been in Denmark and the Danish government would have reacted the same way or worse than how the Taliban did, not one bomb would fallen on Denmark.
We went on a mass-murdering spree for no reason. We should have just went directly after the people responsible and nothing else.
It's true that people who were personally affected will remain affected, but all the Apple Pie shit is over the top. These crooked fucks then pushed wars that cost a lot more lives and tragedy than 9/11. Crickets on that. Folks made Bush into a kitten and respectable man.
The reaction to 9/11 will always be more memorable to me. The freedom fries. The blind patriotism. The wars. The Patriot Act. Not one politician from that era has been held accountable.
I could understand being mad the country got hit. That's completely understandable. But the overreaction and propaganda was just too much starting from day one. The
"they hate us for our freedom" narrative. And to twist that shit into THOSE two wars was criminal and no one has paid for it.
alot of his co worker did. good portion of them passed.
It hasn't pur se because i was there.
Having started that day walking through the WTC shortly before the 1st plane hit above my exit door a few minutes earlier. Then watching the towers fail is not something you forget ever.
It recently occured to me that had i not gotten a transfer earlier that year i would've been later getting to the WTC that morning. I don't even want to think about that.
I think events importance do deminish with time, just not for those who lived it or were adversly affected by them.
Add to that it was my job to reestablish contact with those companies thst operated within the WTC buildings. Many of our customers had office space there.

My supervisor asked where was i going when i started packing my bag...i said did you see what just happened? As soon as i said that the loudspeaker stated please start evacuating the building.You should have seen how fast my supervisor ran out the door and down the street
This has been a wild year.. and to think it had only been 19 years since that day....it damn near feels like a lifetime....
This once long chapter of US history will be reduced to a few paragraphs or less in history books in 5 years
These MF's
Because it never really happened b.
Wifey was on her way to work, damn woman was always late and it payed off that day cause she was blocks away and saw the planes hit. I was on the phone with her till the cell signals cut off. Some of her coworkers died.
I stopped giving a damn by the end of that year. O was mostly worried about more attacks.
1000 people are dying a day to covid 19
Buildings implode every day B...
When it was made clear that it was a demolition.
